Bike sat a month.
Starts great.
Had know problems before.
When i put it in gear it dies.
Can not start by pulling in the clutch.
It will not turn over.
Also I noticed that I have know rear running lights.

The guitar, not the fish!

If you're talking about the rear turn signals as running lights, that's not how they work..Amber running lights to the rear of a vehicle is illegal in all 50 states...Only allowed on the front....

As far as the bike not starting in gear, make sure the kickstand is up..If it is, have you chenged the clutch and brake levers to aftermarket??..Some of them need a bit of grinding to activate the clutch safety switch...

a big trunk for my junk

OK .. thats funny
As funny as pulling up to the tool booth, killing it with the kill switch, putting down the kickstand and then having a dickens of a time getting it started again cuz the kickstand is down and the bike is in gear and the kill switch is off.

When I got my first bike my brother jumped on it to try it out and when he dropped it into 1st it died. That bike would turn over but not fire. We pushed that thing for a good 5 minutes before his foot clipped the stand and he put it up and suprize... It srarted.

Yea I can relate to that we've been under a storm watch for a couple of days and have been getting lake affect snow squalls until noon tomorrow. then on and off all week till next weekend and all over again.

Cruz,...IF he can keep up, have the young Mr. Knightroids follow you past here, so I can shoot out his tires with the poison dart gun...... the neighborhood kids will think we're having a giant rubber chicken for Xmas dinner....

Ya really, who would put a kill switch in a kick stand?
Never had that on any previous bikes.
What's even more embarrassing, is when you do it at the dealership and go back in to say there is an issue....:banghead:

I am trying to install a Tow-Pac Trike kit. Is there any one on here that has installed one on a 1300s? The poor tech guy has been doing this for 14 years and hasn't had this kind of problems.
Please no crappy remarks. I am a 73 year old woman trying to put this thing together in Las Vegas...

Having ridden the Retro 1300 since 2012, I have no regrets. It did everything I ever asked of it and more. For 55,000 me miles it was amazing. It's barely broke in at 70,500 now. Sounded great with the V&H Big Shots. Put all my lights on it and it was lit up great! Front and back. But it was...

I'll start here too...let's see those 1300's!!
I can't take much credit for this beauty, Green Ghost did most of the work. We have chromed the the reservoirs, levers, and added the Tornado intake. Just added a Saddleman seat (need photos of that).

Hello
This is an amazing website. Learned so much about my bike and have been paying it back with my local VTX riders. I picked up a beautiful red 06 VTX 1300C. Already changed the plugs, filters, oil, and gear oil. I'll be doing the smog fix next.
So I read through numerous articles but I...
